Being an international school with over 30 different nationalities, St Edward’s College, inevitably, uses English as the lingua franca. However, languages are considered as a very important tool, and none less than Maltese. In a variety of exercises, students in the Junior School, from Year 3 to year 6 carried out presentations in Maltese. This was a duplicate exercise: in public speaking (including research and IT skills) and in using Maltese as the verbal medium. And kudos to the boys: not only were the presentations varied and interesting but the language used was also very lucid.
